Its originators the ancient Romans, found some of their culinary inspirations in Asia minor and Greece , besides drawing on many resources and ingredients that were home grown . Combining all these it was possible for Italy to teach France the act of good Cooking\u00a0 and eating . In fact , the La Rowne Gastronomique the bible of French Cooking goes on Staple \u201c Italian Cooking can be considered , as a varitable mother cuisine.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"color: #000000;\">It was in 1533, that Catherine\u00a0 de Medici journeyed from Florence\u00a0 to France\u00a0 for her marriage to king Henri II. Both Catherine and her Cousin Marie de Medici who later became queen of Henri IV in 1600, brought teams of Expert cooks to France with them. They knew the art of making modern Pastry and desserts , Cakes , cream puffs and ices. Medici cooks also now familiar vegetables like outside Italy dishes such as the now familiar vegetables like asparagus, artichok, broccoli and the tiny peas that the French took as their own and which the world now knows as Petit\u2019s\u00a0 Pois.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"color: #000000;\">The mother Cuisine of Italy also assimilated many Products of the New World and helped introduce them to the old. It is hard to imagine Italian Cooking without the tomato, but till 1554, no European had even set eyes to it . It was imported into Italy form mixies where it was known as Pomo d\u2019 oro (golden\u00a0 apples) . The Piments or red Pepper , to important in Italian Cooking today , was also a find of the conquests , so was the potato sent\u00a0 back to Europe in 1540. Italy was also the first to Exploit corn , the grain used today in Polento. Turkey were brought back from America and were cooked according to Existing recipes of Peacock . In the end of 1600 , the Italian list of food resources was complete and Italians cooking techniques and eating habits had crytallised into the forms we know today.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"color: #000000;\">THE MODERN CUISINE<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"color: #000000;\"><strong>\u00a0<\/strong><\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"color: #000000;\">To many a non \u2013Italian , the Cooking of\u00a0 Italy means Pasta, Paste and more Pasta. Actually , Italian Fare can be lively and interesting .It ranges from rich, stomach warming soups through dazzling anti Pasta , meat, fish and\u00a0 vegetables dishes , to a profusion of cakes and ice creams.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"color: #000000;\">On the basis of styles of\u00a0 Cooking Pasta , the whole Country\u00a0 can be divided into North and South , into two quite separate culinary territories.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"color: #000000;\">The north is fertile Popular ,industrialized and affluent, the south is Porched , sparsely inhabited historically poor and mainly agricultural .As a\u00a0 Consequence , the north cooks in butter , the South in olive oil (its cheaper to maintain an olive tree than a cow. Flat Pastas , usually made with egg are Popular in the north where as dried tubular\u00a0 Pastas like Spaghetti and macaroni are more popular in the south.<\/span><\/p><h6><span style=\"color: #000000;\"><strong>PASTA<\/strong><\/span><\/h6><p><span style=\"color: #000000;\">No doubt, most non-Italians if asked to name Pastas would probably mention Spaghetti and macaron\u2019s and Perhaps Cavioli and Vermicilli .

Italian veal, Pork and even beef are very good , but most Italian prefer veal, among other popular meats are the processed Pork in the form of\u00a0 Parma , Ham , Bologna sausage , Mortadello sausage . Duck geese children and turkey are also prepared in a variety of ways.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"color: #000000;\">Italy also has a fair amount of good quality cheese , Although they do not compare with the variety of France , cheeses\u00a0 such as Parmesan , Gorgonzola and Bel Paese are now world famous.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"color: #000000;\">Italian ice creams are probably the best in the world .It comes in two basic varieties , the gelati ( milk based , such as vanilla , chocolate ) and granita (shorbet like made of a thin Powdery ice flavoured with lemon , Coffee etc.,<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"color: #000000;\">THE\u00a0 REGIONS OF ITALY<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"color: #000000;\">Culinary wise Italy has been divided into various regions .Each region has its own history and its own distinctive way of Preparing food.

Genoese or sielian\u00a0 dishes is International but\u00a0 a\u00a0 Bologna restaurant serving Milanese , venetian or Florentine dishes is not regarded as International as those dishes are from neighbouring\u00a0 region and have been assimilated into Bolognese cuisine .One reason that many Foreigners think Italian Cooking is Pretty much the same is that most Italian restaurants abroad are Nepolitan. It was from the relatively improvised south of the country that most immigrants came from , bringing with\u00a0 them their regional Cuisines .In the broadest terms , the dominant city of Northern Italian Cooking is Bologna and Naples is of the South. Besides having\u00a0 a large appetite for Pasta , South Italy also has bread as its staple .Bread not money is the gift\u00a0 for beggars . Bread is combined\u00a0 with cheese to produce\u00a0 the traditional \u201cMozzarella in Carrozza\u201d (Mozzerelle in a carriage ). The South also has a well developed sweet tooth .\u201dTrudiddi are small biscuits fried in oil, dipped in honey and frosted with sugar or chocolate , mostaccioli are similar but flavoured with almonds Biscuits Tortoni invented by a Neapolitan of the same name led to the development of granite and gelati.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"color: #000000;\">SICILY &amp; SARDINIA<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"color: #000000;\">The two islands region of the coast of Italy have also greatly influenced the food of Italy .
